What does the word Halloween mean?

Halloween is the day before the Christian holy days of All Hallows’ Day on 1 November and All Souls’ Day on 2 November. This is where the word “Halloween” comes from – Hallows’ Eve.

Why is Halloween celebrated on October 31?

Halloween is celebrated on October 31 because ancient Scottish festival Samhain, the root of Halloween, was on this day. According to them on this very day the two worlds of the living and the dead were the closest. This allowed the dead to cross the border and wander on Earth.

.Why are Jack-O-Lanterns called so?

Jack-O-Lanterns are carved pumpkins with lanterns in them that are a symbol of Halloween. Before the Irish would migrate to America, turnips and potatoes were carved instead of pumpkins, but then pumpkins – bigger and more suitable for lighting – came to replace them.

The name Jack-O-Lantern comes from “Stingy Jack” – an Irish myth hero. According to the legend he successfully tricks the devil and avoids going to hell but is unable to go to Heaven as well. Since that day he wanders the Earth and carries a lantern with him to light his way at nights.

Phobia from Halloween?

There’s a phobia from Halloween that even has a name – Samhainophobia.

Why do people dress up on Halloween in scary costumes?

The tradition of dressing up in scary costumes on Halloween dates back to the ancient Celtics. They believed that dressing up like ghosts, spirits or demons would blend them in with real ones that roam in the streets on that day. Thus they would stay safe and sound.

Nowadays Halloween is the second highest grossing commercial holiday in US and Canada, meaning that YOU can boost your business easily just enjoying a happy day.
